The Columbus Dispatch reported Wednesday that Springfield Falcons head coach Brad Larsen is likely to be named the new assistant coach for the parent Columbus Blue Jackets, replacing Dan Hinote, who recently resigned.

According to Dispatch writer Aaron Portzline, the Blue Jackets did not interview any candidates outside of the organization. Larsen, 36, has coached Springfield to back-to-back AHL Northeast Division titles. His assistants, Jared Bednar and Nolan Pratt, are apparent candidates to replace him.
